BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION Field of Invention

The present invention relates to a cutting machine and more particularly to a method and system of rivering filtration for a power saw machine, which provides multiple filtration stages for detouring and filtering operation fluid during the cutting operation, such that the filtered operation fluid can be immediately re-used for the cutting operation.

Description of Related Arts

Conventional cutting machines are widely used in various industries for provision of rapid and high quality cutting of construction and manufacturing materials such as granite, marble, slate, pave, brick, ceramics and masonry. A conventional cutting machine generally comprises a cutting platform for supporting a work piece thereon, and a cutter head which is suspended and supported above the cutting platform, wherein the cutter head comprises a cutting blade driven by a motor to cut the work piece laid on the cutting platform. In particular, the cutting blade is rotated at a spin direction to define a front cutting point at the circumferential edge of the cutting blade, wherein the front cutting point of the cutting blade contacts with the work piece to cut through the work piece.

Especially the tile and masonry saws, the motor must provide a higher power to drive the cutting blade to rotate. As the friction between the cutting blade and the work piece generates heat, the cutting machine further comprises a cooling machine to cool down the cutting blade during the cutting operation to prevent the damage of the cutting blade by the heat. Therefore, the cutting machine further comprises a fluid delivering mechanism for cooling and/or lubricating the cutting blade during the cutting operation.

The fluid delivering mechanism is arranged to deliver operation fluid directly onto the cutting blade in the direction of the blade rotation before it is contacted with the work piece, such that the operation fluid will be encouraged to stay on the cutting blade causing over saturation. Accordingly, the operation fluid can be liquid coolant, such as water, and/or lubricant, being delivered onto the cutting blade during the cutting operation. It is worth mentioning that residual particles are formed while the cutting blade is rotatably cutting on the work piece. The residual particles will be spit out of the cutting platform that most of the residual particles are spread at the surroundings. Therefore, the residual particles are considered as one of the pollutions and are hazardous for the user since the residual particles may enter into the user's body during inhalation.

The residual particles can be collected by the operation fluid when the operation fluid is sprayed onto the cutting blade. Then, the operation fluid with the residual particles will be collected at a bottom tray which is located underneath the cutting blade. It is worth mentioning that in order to maintain a higher rotational speed of the cutting blade, the operation fluid must be continuously sprayed onto the cutting blade to cool down the relatively high temperature of the cutting blade during the cutting operation. In other words, a relatively large amount of operation fluid must be prepared for the entire cutting operation. Once the cutting operation is completed, the used operation fluid will be collected in the bottom tray for further treatment. For example, the used operation fluid can be filtrated to filter out the residual particles so that the operation fluid can be re-used for next cutting operation after the filtration treatment.

For the environmental concern, it is a need to have a control of air and land pollution to save our lives. However, the making of the residual particles during the cutting process cannot be avoided. Therefore, a solution must be find out to prevent the residual particles spitting out from the cutting blade and to minimize the amount of operation fluid being used for the cutting operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The following description is disclosed to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the present invention. Preferred embodiments are provided in the following description only as examples and modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The general principles defined in the following description would be applied to other embodiments, alternatives, modifications, equivalents, and applications without departing to from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 of the drawings, a power saw machine 10 for cutting a work piece according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated, wherein the power saw machine comprises a motor assembly, a cutting head arrangement, and a supporting frame 14 for supporting the motor assembly and the cutting head arrangement. Accordingly, the cutting machine can be a hand-held machine, wherein a carrying handle is provided, such that a user is able to carry the cutting machine via the carrying handle to cut the work piece.

According to the preferred embodiment, the cutting machine is embodied as a work station. The cutting head arrangement comprises a cutting blade 11 powered by a motor 12 of the motor assembly, wherein the cutting blade 11 is driven to rotate for contacting with the work piece at a cutting point during a cutting operation. The power saw machine further comprises an operation fluid delivery arrangement comprises a fluid nozzle unit 13 for delivering operation fluid onto a cutting edge portion of the cutting blade. Accordingly, the operation fluid can be liquid coolant, such as water, and/or lubricant, being delivered onto the cutting blade during the cutting operation. Residual particles will be collected by the operation fluid when the operation fluid is sprayed onto the cutting blade during the cutting operation. It is worth mentioning that the operation fluid from the cutting blade 11 is ejected tangentially downwards towards the supporting frame 14.

According to the preferred embodiment, the power saw machine further comprises a rivering filtration system which provides multiple filtration stages for filtrating the residual particles in the operation fluid after the operation fluid is delivered onto the cutting blade, as shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 5. The rivering filtration system comprises a filtration tray 20 supported underneath the cutting blade 11 and a fluid collecting tray 30 located underneath the filtration tray 20.

As shown in FIG. 3, the filtration tray 20 is detachably coupled to the supporting frame 14 at a position that the filtration tray 20 is located underneath the cutting blade 11, such that the operation fluid from the cutting blade 11 is ejected tangentially downwards towards the filtration tray 20.

The filtration tray 20 has a filtration cavity 21 for collecting the operation fluid after the operation fluid is delivered onto the cutting blade 11, wherein the filtration tray 20 provides a first filtration stage for filtrating the visible residual particles out from the operation fluid. The visible residual particles can be large debris and/or contaminant.

The filtrating cavity 21 is defined within a cavity surrounding wall 211 and a cavity bottom wall 212. The filtrating cavity 21 further has a first side portion 213 and a second side portion 214 located side-by-side, wherein the operation fluid flows from the first side portion 213 of the filtrating cavity 21 to the second side portion 214 thereof. As shown in FIG. 2, the cavity surrounding wall 211 has a cornering portion 215 formed between the first side portion 213 and the second side portion 214 of the filtrating cavity 21 for detouring the direction of the operation fluid being flowed from the first side portion 213 of the filtrating cavity 21 to the second side portion 214 thereof. In other words, a width of the first side portion 213 of the filtrating cavity 21 is larger than a width of the second side portion 214 of the filtrating cavity 21. It is worth mentioning that a depth of the first side portion 213 of the filtrating cavity 21 is the same as a depth of the second side portion 214 of the filtrating cavity 21. It is appreciated that the depth of the first side portion 213 of the filtrating cavity 21 can be different from that of the second side portion 214 of the filtrating cavity 21.

The filtration tray 20 further has a down-sloping channel 22 for guiding the operation fluid from the cutting blade to flow along the down-sloping channel so as to land a larger size of the residual particle thereon. Particularly, the operation fluid from the cutting blade 11 is ejected tangentially downwards towards the down-sloping channel 22. In other words, majority of operation fluid, i.e. coolant/lubricant and debris, is ejected from the cutting blade 11 along the down-sloping channel 22.

As shown in FIG. 2, an exit of the down-sloping channel 22 is extended to the cavity surrounding wall 211 of the filtrating cavity 21 for guiding the operation fluid being flowed into the filtrating cavity 21 to ensure the residual particles being deposited at the to cavity bottom wall 212 of the filtrating cavity 21. The down-sloping channel 22 is transversely extended to the first side portion 213 of the filtrating cavity 21, such that the operation fluid is guided to initially flow along the down-sloping channel 22 to the first side portion 213 of the filtrating cavity 21.

The down-sloping channel 22 has a stairway entrance 221 for speeding up a flow of the operation fluid along the down-sloping channel 22, wherein a width of the down-sloping channel 22 is gradually increased toward the exit thereof. The stairway entrance 221 of the down-sloping channel 22 is formed at a surrounding rim of the filtration tray 20, wherein the down-sloping channel 22 is extended to a position that the exit thereof is extended to the first side portion 213 of the filtrating cavity 21. Therefore, the speed of the operation fluid is increased at the stairway entrance 221 to ensure the operation fluid flowing along the down-sloping channel 22. Then, the speed of the operation fluid is reduced along the down-sloping channel 22 via the increasing width thereof.

The filtration tray 20 further has an overflow drain 23 located above the filtrating cavity 21 for draining the operation fluid out of the filtrating cavity 21 when the operation fluid is overflowed therein, so as to filtrate the residual particles out from the operation fluid. A level of the overflow drain is below a level of the exit of the down-sloping channel. Accordingly, the operation fluid is slowly filled into the filtrating cavity 21 to ensure the visible residual particles in the operation fluid being deposited at the cavity bottom wall 212 of the filtrating cavity 21. In particular, the overflow drain 23 is located at the second side portion 214 of the filtrating cavity 21, wherein the direction of the operation fluid is detoured to flow from the first side portion 213 of the filtrating cavity 21 through the second side portion 214 thereof to the overflow drain 23. The overflow drain 23 is located adjacent to the exit of the down-sloping channel 22, such that the flow direction of the operation fluid along the down-sloping channel 22 is opposite to the flow direction of the operation fluid toward the overflow drain 23. In other words, the operation fluid is guided to flow 180° within the filtration cavity 21.

The filtration tray 20 further has a drain ceiling wall 24 integrally extended from the cavity surrounding wall 211 at the second side portion 213 of the filtrating cavity 21, wherein the overflow drain 23 is formed at the drain ceiling wall 24. The overflow drain 23 is to located adjacent to the cornering portion 215 of the filtration cavity 21. It is worth mentioning that the drain ceiling wall 24 is located above the cavity bottom wall 212 of the filtrating cavity 21. The filtration tray 20 further has a raised blocking flange 241 upwardly protruded from the cavity surrounding wall 211 along the drain ceiling wall 24, such that when the operation fluid is overflowed at the filtrating cavity 21, the operation fluid must flow over the raised blocking flange 241 to reach the overflow drain 23.

The fluid collecting tray 30 is detachably coupled underneath the filtration tray 20 is supported by the supporting frame 14 for collecting the operation fluid drained from the overflow drain 23. The fluid collecting tray 30 has first and second cavities 31, 32, wherein the fluid collecting tray 30 provides a second filtration stage and third filtration stage. At the second filtration stage, the operation fluid is slowly filled in the first cavity 31 from the filtration cavity 21 to ensure slurry residual particles in the operation fluid being deposited at the first cavity 31. At the third filtration stage, the operation fluid is 5 slowly filled in the second cavity 32 from the first cavity 31 to ensure the slurry residual particles being filtrated out of the operation fluid.

As shown in FIG. 2, the fluid collecting tray 30 further has a collecting reservoir 33 and a partition wall 34 extended from a bottom of the collecting reservoir 33 for partitioning the collecting reservoir 33 into the first cavity 31 for receiving the operation fluid drained from the overflow drain 23 and the second cavity 32 for receiving the operation fluid from the first cavity 31 when the operation fluid overflows the partition wall 34. Preferably, the partition wall 34 is longitudinally formed at a mid-portion of the fluid collecting tray 30 to partition the collecting reservoir 33 into two even halves i.e. the first cavity 31 and the second cavity 32.

The partition wall 34 has at least a top passing notch 341 indented at a top edge of the partition wall 34 for allowing the operation fluid to flow from the first cavity 31 to the second cavity 32. Preferably, two top passing notches 341 are formed at two ends of the partition wall 34 respectively, such that the operation fluid can flow from the first cavity 31 to the second cavity 32 at two ends of the partition wall 34 along the top passing notches 341.

The operation fluid that overflows from the filtration tray 20 collects in the first cavity 31 where it slowly collects, wherein the operation fluid in the first cavity 31 is free of visible debris and/or contaminants. Then, the operation fluid that overflows from the first cavity 31 collects in the second cavity 32, where the majority of the operation fluid is free of micro debris and is less saturated of slurry reducing fluid pump wear.

As shown in FIG. 2, the fluid collecting tray 30 further comprises an elongated drain collector 35 extended outwardly to align with and located below the overflow drain 23 for guiding the operation fluid from the overflow drain 23 to the first cavity 31. The fluid collecting tray 30 further has a drain hole 36 located at the second cavity 32 and above a bottom wall thereof for draining the operation fluid out of the second cavity 32 when overflowing. Accordingly, the second cavity 32 will be used to further collect sludge deposited as operation fluid drains out via the drain hole 36.

For improving the filtration result, a fluid collector 40, such as a bucket, can be simply placed under the fluid collecting tray 30 to align with the drain hole 36 for collecting the clean and filtrated operation fluid overflowed from the second cavity 32 and drained out from the drain hole 36. In other words, the rivering filtration system of the present invention further provides a fourth filtration stage via the fluid collector 40 to filtrate the operation fluid. Accordingly, the fluid pump 15, such as a water pump, can be placed in the fluid collector 40 for pumping the operation fluid therefrom back to the fluid nozzle unit 13 of the operation fluid delivery arrangement for delivering the clean and filtrated operation fluid onto the cutting blade 11. It is worth mentioning that when the drain hole 36 is closed, the fluid pump 15 can be placed in the second cavity 32 to deliver the operation fluid therein back to the fluid nozzle unit 13. When the drain hole 36 is opened, the fluid pump 15 can be placed the fluid collector 40 to deliver the operation fluid therefrom back to the fluid nozzle unit 13.

FIG. 6 illustrates a first alternative mode of the rivering filtration system according to the above preferred embodiment, wherein the rivering filtration system further comprises a filtration lining 50 detachably coupled to the filtration tray 20 at the filtration cavity 21 thereof so as to take place of the filtration cavity 21 to temporarily collect the operation fluid after the operation fluid is delivered on the cutting blade 11 and deposit the visible particles filtrated from the operation fluid, thereby facilitating the cleaning up of the filtration tray.

As mentioned in the above preferred embodiment, the filtration tray 20 provides a first filtration stage for filtrating the visible residual particles out from the operation fluid. In other words, during the operation of the power saw machine, the visible residual particles are progressively deposited and accumulated within in the filtration cavity 21 as the operation fluid flows along the filtration cavity 21, wherein the filtration cavity 21 defined by the cavity surrounding wall 211 and the cavity bottom wall 212 has a limited volume. Accordingly, in order to maintain a normal function of the power saw machine, it is necessary to clean up the filtration cavity 21, when the residual particles within it exceeds a predetermined threshold. However, since the filtration cavity 21 is integrally formed with the filtration tray 20 as an integral part thereof, it would be a hassle to tidy up the visible residual particles deposited in the filtration cavity 21 for the reason that the entire filtration tray 20 should first be disassembled from the power saw machine for the cleaning purpose.

In the alternative mode of the present invention, the rivering filtration system further comprises the filtration lining 50 which is detachably mounted in the filtration cavity, such that when the operation fluid flows into the filtration cavity 21 of the filtration tray 20 after being funneled along the down-sloping channel 22, it would slowly fill into the filtration lining 50 instead of the filtration cavity 21, such that the visible residual particles mixed in the operation fluid would be deposited and accumulated in the filtration lining 50 instead of the filtration cavity 21. Therefore, when the residual particles within the filtration lining 50 exceeds a predetermined threshold, i.e. the residual particles is fulfilled in the filtration lining 50, the filtration tray 20 can be easily cleaned by simply removing the filtration lining 50 from the filtration cavity 21. It is worth mentioning that a new filtration lining 50 can be used to replace the previous contaminated filtration lining 50 when dealing with the residual particles in the previous filtration lining 50, such that the rivering filtration system can function uninterruptedly to provides multiple filtration stages for filtrating the residual particles in the operation fluid after the operation fluid is delivered onto the cutting blade 11 in order to maintain a long-term run of the power saw machine.

Referring to FIG. 6 of the drawings, preferably, the filtration lining 50 has a shape and size corresponding to the shape and size of the filtration cavity 21 that the filtration lining 50 is able to fittedly couple at the filtration cavity along a surrounding rim thereof. In other words, the filtration lining 50 is designed based on the size and shape of the filtration cavity, wherein the filtration lining 50 has a lining bottom wall 511 and a lining surrounding wall 512 extended around the lining bottom wall to define a temporary collecting cavity 51 therewithin. When the filtration lining 50 is fittedly mounted in the filtration cavity 21, the lining bottom wall 511 of the filtration lining 50 is attached to the cavity bottom wall 211 of the filtration cavity 21. In other words, in this alternative mode of the present invention, a depth of temporary collecting cavity 51 the filtration lining 50 is equal to that of the filtration cavity 21 of the filtration tray 20. It is appreciated that the depth of the temporarily collecting cavity 51 can be less than that of the filtration cavity 21.

Further, when the filtration lining 50 is fittedly mounted in the filtration cavity 21, the exit of the down-sloping channel is extended to the lining surrounding wall 512 of the filtration lining 50 for guiding the operation fluid being flowed into the temporary collecting cavity 51 to ensure the visible residual particles being deposited and accumulated progressively at the lining surrounding wall 511 of the temporary collecting cavity 51.

Likewise, the filtration lining 50 further has a first side portion 513, a second portion 514 located side-by-side and a cornering portion 515 formed between the first side portion 513 and the second side portion 514 for detouring the direction of the operation fluid being flowed from the first side portion 513 to the second side portion 514 thereof to enhance the deposition of the visible residual particles as the operation fluid is filled in the temporary collecting cavity 51 of the filtration lining 50.

The filtration lining 50 further has an overflow hole 53 located above the temporary collecting cavity 51, wherein when the filtration lining 50 is fittedly mounted in the filtration cavity 51, the overflow hole 53 of the filtration lining 50 is aligned with the overflow drain 23 of the filtration tray 20 to form a through channel for draining the operation fluid out of the temporary collecting cavity 51 to the fluid collecting tray 30 which is coupled underneath the filtration tray 20, when the operation fluid is overflowed therein. Similarly, the overflow hole 53 is located at the second side portion 514 of the filtrating lining 50, wherein the direction of the operation fluid is detoured to flow from the first side portion 513 of the temporary collecting cavity 513 through the second side portion 514 thereof to the overflow hole 53. The overflow hole 53 is located adjacent to the exit of the down-sloping channel 22, such that the flow direction of the operation fluid along the down-sloping channel 22 is opposite to the flow direction of the operation fluid toward the overflow hole 53. In other words, the operation fluid is guided to flow 180° within the temporary collecting cavity 51 to ensure the deposition of the visible residual particles as the operation fluid is flowed by the temporary collecting cavity 51 of the filtration lining 50 to the fluid collecting tray 30.

It worth mentioning that during the operation of the filtration lining 50, the filtration lining 50 should be strong enough to resist the flush of the operation fluid from the exit of the down-slopping channel 22. In particular, since the filtration lining 50 is detachably fitted at the filtration cavity 21 of the filtration tray 20, the filtration lining 50 takes a risk of being flushed by the operation fluid to lose its function. Therefore, the filtration lining 50 further has a locking mechanism provided along a surrounding rim thereof to ensure the filtration lining 50 being kept in position when the filtration lining 50 is mounted at the filtration cavity.

More particular, the filtration lining 50 further has a peripheral locking rim 516 formed along the surrounding rim thereof that when the filtration lining 50 is detachably mounted at the filtration cavity 21 of the filtration tray 20, the peripheral locking rim 516 is detachably locked at the surrounding rim of the filtration cavity 21, thereby securely gripping the filtration lining 50 along the surrounding rim of the filtration cavity 21 to resist the flush of the operation fluid from the exit of the down-slopping channel 22. In particular, the peripheral locking rim 516 has an inverse C-shape to function as a hook to lock at the surrounding rim of the filtration cavity 51.

Further, as mentioned above, the filtration tray 20 further has a raised blocking flange 241 upwardly protruded from the cavity surrounding wall 211 of the filtration cavity 21. Accordingly, in this alternative mode of the above preferred embodiment, the peripheral locking rim 516 can be detachably locked at the raised blocking flange 241 of the filtration cavity 21 to securely lock the filtration lining 50 at the raised blocking flange 241 of the filtration cavity 21 to resist the flush of the operation fluid at the exit of the down-slopping channel 22.

It is worth mentioning that the filtration lining 50 can be made of undeformable material such as plastic. In particular, the filtration lining 50 can be produced by projecting molding that when the filtration lining 50 is made, the filtration lining 50 has a fixed shape and size corresponding to the filtration cavity 21 of the filtration tray 20, such that the filtration lining 50 can be directly utilized to be mounted in the filtration cavity for temporarily collecting the operation fluid after the operation fluid is delivered on the cutting blade and depositing the visible particles filtrated from the operation fluid, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the filtration tray 20.

Alternatively, the filtration lining 50 can be deformable material, such as foldable material, i.e. paper or cloth. For example, in one embodiment of the alternative mode of the above preferred embodiment, the filtration lining 50 is made of paper and before the filtration lining 50 is put into use, the filtration lining 50 should be folded referring to the contour of the filtration cavity 21 of the filtration tray 20 to form the first side portion 513, the second side portion 514, the cornering portion 515 and the peripheral locking rim 516 thereof. Further, a hole can be punched in the filtration paper to form the overflow hole 53 in such a manner to configure the filtration paper with a desired size and shape corresponding to the filtration cavity 21 of the filtration tray 20. It is important to mention that when the residual particles within the filtration lining 50 exceeds a predetermined threshold, an operator may simply pack the filtration lining 50 made of deformable material with residual particles therein to fulfill the purpose of cleaning the filtration tray 20.

As shown in FIG. 4, the present invention further comprises a rivering filtration method which comprises the following steps.

(A) Collect the operation fluid in the filtrating cavity 21 of the filtration tray 20 which is supported underneath the cutting blade to ensure the visible residual particles in the operation fluid being deposited at the filtrating cavity 21, so as to filtrate the visible residual particles out from the operation fluid by the filtration tray 20.

(B) Slowly fill the operation fluid in the first cavity 31 of the fluid collecting tray 30 from the filtration tray 20 to ensure the slurry residual particles in the operation fluid being deposited at the cavity bottom wall of the first cavity 31.

(C) Slowly fill the operation fluid in the second cavity 32 from the first cavity 31 to ensure the slurry residual particles being filtrated out of the operation fluid.

The step (A) further comprises the following steps.

(A.1) Slowly fill the operation fluid in the filtrating cavity 21 to ensure the visible residual particles in the operation fluid being deposited at the cavity bottom wall 212 of the filtrating cavity 21, wherein the step (A.1) further comprises the steps of:

(A.1.1) dividing the filtrating cavity 21 into the first side portion 213 and the second side portion 214 that the overflow drain 23 is located at the second side portion 214; and

(D) When the operation fluid overflows at the second cavity 32, drain out the operation fluid from the second cavity 32 via the drain hole 36.

(E) Collect the operation fluid drained out from the drain hole 36 by the fluid collector 40.

(F) Deliver the operation fluid, via the fluid pump 15, back onto the cutting blade 11 after the operation fluid is collected by the fluid collector 40 by placing the fluid pump 15 in the fluid collector 40.

Alternatively, after the step (c), the method further comprises a step of pumping the operation fluid in the second cavity 32 back to deliver onto the cutting blade 11 by placing the fluid pump 15 in the second cavity 32.

Accordingly, the method further comprises a step of removing the filtration lining 50 which is detachably mounted at the filtration cavity 21 of the filtration tray 20 from the filtration cavity 21 when the residual particles within the filtration lining 50 exceeds a predetermined threshold to clean up the filtration tray 20 thereby.

Therefore, the present invention provides a pre-filtration stage, i.e. the funneling step, and four different filtration stages to complete the filtration treatment of the operation fluid as shown in FIG. 5. Therefore, the clean and filtered operation fluid can be immediately re-used for the cutting operation. It is worth mentioning that the rivering filtration system can be incorporated with any existing power saw machine to process the filtration treatment of the operation fluid.
